Brian is first and foremost a nerd in every way shape and form. He likes to compare himself to a black hole, consuming any and every form of entertainment unlucky enough to get caught in his gravitational pull. It's not uncommon on any given day for him to read a couple comics, settle down with a good book, watch a few movies (inside and out of the theater), catch up on his ever growing but never depleting Hulu queue, challenge himself with a few good video games, listen to any music he can get his hands on and, of course, write his heart out. He spends every waking moment dreaming up interesting and intriguing concepts and ideas that will hopefully one day inspire and entertain anyone looking for an escape from their daily lives. Graduating from Full Sail University in good old humid Florida, Brian currently lives and works in New York City and is waiting for the day when all he has to do is wake up and create something unique and new for people to enjoy. He is always in the process of writing scripts and stories and is constantly on the lookout for ways to enhance and build his creative drive. After all, life is just one big story, all that really matters is how you strive to make it the best story possible. Disclaimer: Brian does not actually have powdered green skin in case anyone was wondering. A Skrull I am not. Blame the guys at the Color Run for this one.

I really hope everyone reading saw this one in IMAX because it was well worth the price of admission. Following years in the life of the controversial

I’m not saying the Mission: Impossible franchise is losing steam, but maybe this one shouldn’t have split into two parts or, I don’t know, have its most

I really wish Harrison Ford and director James Mangold had a chance to do their own Indy trilogy because this one wasn’t half bad! Set

It’s a bit disheartening to see this one not do so well at the box office, but for those who love Pixar, it’s still a

Too bad Flash isn’t fast enough to outrun Ezra Miller’s real-life problems, or else this movie might have turned out better than it actually did.

This movie sucks, and I’m even saying that going by the crappy standard Michael Bay’s Transformers sequels have already set. A standalone sequel to 2018’s Bumblebee but a prequel

They really missed an opportunity to use “FasTEN Your Seatbelts” as a tagline for this one. Ok, I swear, that’s the last time I’m using
